Donna Alward writes a delicious second chance romance. Her characters are fun with interesting sub-plots. The wedding on Kissing Bridge for Dan and Ryan is bittersweet and forces Lauren to begin her new life. Aiden is a sterling hero. Patient, romantic, perhaps, he does not always use the right words, but is loving, thoughtful and perfect for Laurel. The forever after ending holds a future book or two for brothers Rory and Ethan. I will be on board for both. This one is great!
